Too Late For War With Iran.....

The United States seems to be on a collision course with Iran. Despite claims to the contrary the Bush Administration seems to be hell bent on war with Iran. At present, there are two US carrier groups in the region and strategic bombers at the ready in Europe. People have been predicting the wars start for some time. However, several world events have prevented the Bush White House from moving forward with this cataclysmically stupid plan.
The first was the testing of a nuclear weapon by North Korea, followed by a sudden increase in tensions between Pakistan and India, and the Israeli-Lebanon conflict that occurred this past summer. Of course, Teheran likely manufactured the Israeli-Lebanon conflict to stave off invasion---at least for a few months.
Nevertheless, like that pair of tattered underwear that always seems to turn up in the laundry despite every effort to get rid of it, the US seems to continue to table military option with Iran. And truth is, prior to the Iraq invasion this would not have been all that bad of a plan. However, Bush and his cronies, in all their infinite wisdom have missed the window for this plan to work and in fact, it may just backfire on the White House and plunge the world into war.
I shudder at the thought of the United States in a full-scale war with Soviets and China. And do not delude yourselves, it could happen. The US is not the lone super power that Foxnews would have you believe. Militarily we are stretched as thin as a sheet of saran wrap.
Believe me, I love this country, but patriotism is not toeing the party line! We need to get our asses out of the Middle East and quit deluding ourselves that we are somehow keeping the terrorists off our soil by fighting in Iraq. The only reason terrorists have not hit us here in the US has been the hard work of the FBI, NSA, and CIA and the sheer grace of the cosmos! Not the action in Iraq as President Bush would have you believe.
I do not mean to sound like a bastard but, the fight for Iraq was window dressing to shore up Bush’s lack of domestic policies and failure to capture Bin Laden in the two years after 9/11.
Despite what Wall Street would have you believe, the economy is in shambles, our government is selling us out to Mexico, and the concepts of liberty are being replaced piecemeal with proto-fascism disguised as anti-terrorist legislation.
If we do not change the course we are on soon, we will be telling our grandchildren about the late, great United States of America.
